Journal photo by Edward MarshallPolice are investigating an armed robbery that took place at B&M Tobacco Shack in Spring Mills on Wednesday evening.

Lemaster said at least one of the suspects was armed with a handgun and there may have been more weapons involved, but the investigation was still in its early stages.

"They haven't given out all the details," Lemaster said at the scene. "They are still taking statements."

A more detailed description of the suspects was not immediately available.

The suspects fled in an unknown direction of travel. A Berkeley County Sheriff's Department K-9 unit ran a track in the area of the shopping center where the incident occurred, but no suspects were located, indicating they may have entered a vehicle.
